Chapter 348 347: Taxi Driver (3)
As the sleek taxi glided effortlessly through the bustling streets of the beautiful city of the Central Area, it seemed to embody the very essence of progress. Its smooth, aerodynamic exterior shimmered in the ambient glow of neon lights, reflecting the vibrant energy of the metropolis.
Inside, the cabin was a sanctuary of comfort and technology. Plush, ergonomic seats cradled both Corey and Divine in a luxurious embrace, while interactive displays provided real-time information about the city’s landmarks and attractions. The hum of the electric engine was barely perceptible, a testament to the vehicle’s eco-friendly design.
The taxi navigated the labyrinthine streets with precision, the taxi driver seamlessly weaving through traffic with the grace of a dancer. Some pedestrians paused to watch in awe as the futuristic vehicle passed by, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of its headlights.
As the taxi cruised past towering skyscrapers and verdant parks suspended in mid-air, it offered both Corey and Divine a panoramic view of the city’s stunning skyline. Holographic billboards flashed messages of hope, progress, and safety while drones zipped overhead, delivering goods with unparalleled efficiency.
At every turn, the taxi encountered a symphony of sights and sounds—a testament to the harmonious blend of nature and technology that defined the utopian city of the Central Area. From the tranquil gardens to the bustling markets, every corner of the metropolis pulsed with life and vitality.
“You didn’t drive like this the last time I was your passenger.”
Corey could not help but speak out his thoughts when he realized that they were about to reach their destination.
He didn’t know how to describe it, but the way the taxi driver drove, and the view he saw as he drove was… different.
How could driving in a different manner offer… satisfaction?
Corey did not know, but he was curious.
Divine also looked slightly intrigued as he gazed at the taxi driver, who had a slight smile.
He was also curious… But he was curious about something else.
“How can my driving be average when the one and only Divine is in my taxi.”
The taxi driver chuckled, and the expressions of both Corey and Divine slowly changed.
“Who are you? And what do you want?”
Divine asked extremely calmly and indifferently as his eyes flashed with a threatening glint.
Usually, it should not be strange that an individual would know who he was since he was amongst the top 5 wealthiest people in the Underworld.
Well… That was before he was imprisoned, and 95% of his value points were seized due to his crimes.
Moving back to the taxi driver.
Divine always felt that the taxi driver was weird.
He didn’t know how to explain it. He just felt like the mannerisms and behavior of the taxi driver were unlike most taxi drivers.
Divine was not sure if Corey knew since he had never boarded a taxi in the Central Area before.
This was obviously not Divine’s first time using a taxi in the Central Area, so he knew how most taxi drivers behaved… and, most especially, moved.
Although it was subtle and most people wouldn’t notice, the way the taxi driver moved was silent and… dangerous.
From the moment he saw the taxi driver, he knew he was not normal.
The taxi driver seemed entirely unbothered by the cold auras of Divine and Corey. He turned the steering wheel to his right, and a few seconds later, he parked by the side of the road.
With a light smile, he switched off the ignition and faced Corey before shifting his gaze to Divine.
“I’m here to make a deal with you.”
Divine raised his brows, and an intrigued light flashed in his eyes.
“Speak.”
Divine folded his arms while observing the taxi driver, and if one were to look at certain injuries on his body. They would notice that it was slowly healing.
The taxi driver didn’t seem to take notice of this, and with a light-hearted smile, he spoke:
“I know about your current situation and predicament…” The taxi driver paused, and then his eyes landed on the injuries on Divine’s body for a second before shifting his gaze toward Corey, who had an indifferent expression.
“You can’t fight the people who plan on attacking you. You can only run away or depend on Smile Reaper, who’s just a tier 2.”
Corey raised his brows.
The taxi driver faced Divine, who had an intrigued smile. “You might not know, but there are a lot of people waiting for you outside the gates of the Central Area.”
“Some of them are your enemies, while some of them were hired by your enemies. They are approximately fifty in number. Maybe they are more, who knows.” The taxi driver shrugged, then he continued while pointing at Corey.
“He can’t protect your life since he’s just a tier 2, and there are a lot of tier 4s in the group.”
Corey glanced at the taxi driver’s finger, and then he looked at the taxi driver.
“So, what deal do you want to make?”
Corey asked, but the taxi driver only gave him a glance before shifting his gaze back to Divine.
“My boss has told me to help you leave the Central Area safely.”
The taxi driver said, and Divine chuckled while shaking his head softly: “But?”
“But my boss wants to know what you wanted to steal from the house of the Lord of the Central Area.”
The instant the taxi driver finished speaking, Divine’s smile widened.
“Who is your boss?”
Divine questioned, and the taxi driver shrugged.
“Dunno. Never met him or her.” The taxi driver nonchalantly said, and Divine raised his brows.
“I work for an organization, and I usually get odd jobs like this. Though, this is the first time I’ll receive a job directly from the boss.”
The taxi driver said, and Divine was curious.
“Which organization do you work for?”
The taxi driver shook his head, and with a small smile, he replied: “Can’t say.”
Divine rubbed his chin, then he glanced at Corey, his eyes flashing with a calculating glint.
“So, is it a deal or no deal?”This chapter is updatđť“®d by nov(e)(l)biin.com
The taxi driver asked. Divine saw a subtle nod from Corey, and he chuckled.
“It’s a deal.”
